Cat, I would be only to happy to help you with this as a caregiver. I would like to show that in over 30 years, lc research has not changed much in helping the survival rate. My mom and dad passed away in 1972 and 1973, my brother in 1998 and my husband in 2004. Why can't they find the cause. LC is the number 1 killer in the cancer fight...it does not care how old one is although my mom was 61, dad 63, brother 65 and husband 70.

Oh I sure hope Bob can get the drs to figure out his problems. I hope his pain is being controlled...will pray a bit harder for him...

Welcome Sandy,
Hope your visit to The Duke was good. Ginny is a terrific caregiver and a sister-in-law I bet....

Oh my Dear New Year's Eve friend is gone. Now he and my Buddy can get to know each other to. Oh, I will miss David. On New Years Eve, I was on here looking for someone to chat with for Buddy was sleeping and I was lonely. David came on and we chatted for awhile. When it got to be somewhere around midnight, he logged off to be with his boys at midnight.
David oh David, I will truely miss his posts and his input in the chat talks. He was one terrific young man. I am so sorry I did not get to post to his last posting regarding the procedure he was going to go through. I am sure he knew I cared.
For his family, I know they will have a very hard time accepting his passing so I will say lots of prays for them.

Candy,
I think I posted to you to stop by and see me if you took I-75 but I think you had already left. I bet you passed me right up. I am only a mile from I-75 from leaving Ohio and entering into Ky and going up the big hill. From the top of that hill I am 1 mile down the road. You and your dog would have been welcomed.
Glad you had a good time but I know the feeling you are talking about. I go out to eat by myself at times and I feel everyone is thinking WIDOW WIDOW WIDOW. Oh well, I am a widow. I just need to get used to that..
Next time e-mail me if you come this way...

You are always in my prayers. Every night....

Cindy,
I am thinking positive. Years ago, when Buddy was in his late 40's early 50's he had a lot of blood in his stool. I was sure he had colon cancer. It turned out to be pulps(sp). they were all inflamed and after the dr removed them he was fine. Nothing after that until they found cancer in the colon from the lung in 11/03.
I to had blood in the bowel while buddy was sick and I thought for sure I had colon cancer. It to turned out to be just one pulp. Dr removed in and I to am fine.
Don't put the cart before the horse like I did both times.....hopefully it won't be bad. I will pray though for Tom to be fine and you to.

Ginny, I think of you and Earl everyday. I know how stressful life for you is right now. I wish I could help you. Take care my dear friend and give Earl a little touch from me....love

Fay, I read this post last night and started to post to it but couldn't I don't know how. Right now I am stumbling for words.
You are a lovely person. I don't know your spouse. In fact, I didn't know you were married. I don't remember you ever speaking of him.
At this point in your life, don't focus on him, focus on Fay. What Fay likes to do, what makes her day. If he follows, fine, if not to he//////. It's Fay's world now.....

DavidA, thanks for the update. I am hoping and praying for both you and Bob to find just the right meds to get you both doing good again.

Why do I come here. I have said this to myself many times. Why do I want to have days I will relive Buddy's last days by someone else's ending the same way in a posting.
Well, I come here because when Buddy was so sick, this place gave me comfort and knowledge. I found people who though they did not personally know us, they accepted us for what I posted and they really did and do care about us. They care how I am getting along now. I will get PM's often just saying "HI, how are you", been thinking about you today. God, that is just so great to read. Someone, somewhere really cares about how I am.. That is just so amazing. But hey, I feel the same way about all of you. I do care how you are. I care for the person who has the lc, whether they are in remission or are fighting for their life each day. I am here to speak to them, to tell them they are loved by me. To tell them to fight for the right to live if that is what God plans. Then I care for the caregivers. They to are a special breed of people. They have such devotion to their loved ones or they would not have found this sight.
If I can just give a hello, how are you today to to someone who appreciates it then I to am happy.
I don't know how long I will stay on here but for now I am happy for those who are doing well and sad for those who are having trouble and devastated by those that pass on but we all one day will pass on and not a one of us knows when or how. Only that Man above knows that.... so why do I come here. Because I hope my little postings helps someone somehow just a little as they helped me in the past and still do...
God Bless all of you.

Phyllis, it was so good to come on here and see a note from you. Sorry for the hard time you have been having but maybe your body loves the new med. Sure hope so...
-
Oh my God, I am so very sorry for all of you. He will be missed so very much by you and yours and by this board of loving friends.
I will miss him so very much even though we never actually met, one feels so at ease with some people and T-bone was one of those person's.
I really do miss him now. Love to all of you...
-
I pray every night for T-Bone and all of you. This is such a very hard time for everyone.

David, my New Years Eve buddy, take care of yourself and do all that is necessary to rid your body of this horrible illness. I will need a friend on New Years Eve to talk with again so do whatever is necessary for we will be on board while everyone else on here is sleeping the party away. Take care my friend.

Peg my friend,
I give you and Sarah all my love and hope the future is bright for both of you.

Boy Dean, you know how to hurt a friend. If I ate that I would gain back the 40 I just lost....sure sounded good..I can taste it now...
-
Oh Don, I am so very sorry you are experiencing this horrid time. I know and do believe that they do somehow watch over us until the time we all meet again.

Well it's my turn but afraid not to interesting. My mom named me Norma after a movie star with the last name of Shear I believe. However, she always called me Norme. So all my life, if someone called me Norme, i knew they talked to mom. Not to many left who call me that anymore so I thought i would sign on in her memory for she to passed on to Rainbow Bridge because of lc.
My Buddy always had nicknames for everyone. I was Sweetie, our son was Ace when he was small and everyone on his baseball team back then called him Ace. Funny how one person can change a person's name. He was born James.
My Buddy's name was Robert and named after his dad so therefore they needed a nickname so it turned out to be Buddy. I sure wish I could find a 78 record called My Buddy or something like that. It went like "the nights are long, since you went away, I think of you, all through the day, my Buddy. I love that song but not sure of the name to go search for it...if anyone know, tell me the name.

Ray, am so sorry you are having a bad time right now with the meds. Hopefully the quality of life will go back to the 8 and move to 10.

Tess,
All I can say at a time like this is pull up your recliner, put a pillow under his arm and yours and hold on to his hand real tight. Talk about the past 3 years, all you can remember that he liked and he will pass on with great memories of you. I pray for peace for Rob and you. Much love...
-
Nell, so sorry to hear about all the pain Bob is in. I know my Buddy had pain since day one till hospice gave him morphine. Not saying Bob needs that but there is meds to take away the pain while trying to find out the prob. I get very upset when a cancer patient is in pain and they don't give the right meds for it but beat around the bush.
Hope the new scans help find his prob. don't know if lc mets to the prostrate. I hope it didn't for his sake.

My dear Becky,
In church about 3 to 4 wks ago, the priest gave a talk regarding yesterday. Yesterday is gone, the past is gone, we live for today, we love for today, we cry for today but that is all part of life now. We cannot go back and sometimes we think back was great but there were times that were not so great. We can only make today out of what we put into it. We cannot run scared of today nor tomorrow. Regarding tomorrow, none of us knows if we will see tomorrow, lc or not, so go with what you have and that is an awful lot young lady. You have that beautiful son, a loving husband and a mom and dad who dearly love you so what else is important for today. Plus you have me, a second mom who cares for you through this puter thing.... much love.

I am not one for pain.. If they say it will hurt some and to let them know, I tell them right as they start that it hurts.
So sorry I didn't get to Michigan. I sure wanted to meet you and yours and everyone else.
It's back and I need your input

Bonnie,
Well, it sounds like you have done some deep thinking and you probably already know what and how you want things to go so follow your heart on this one. Only you have the right decision.
YOur plate sure is full right now and am glad your daughter is moving in. That will be a lot of help for you and your husband.
